What an incredible recipe! I didn't have self-raising flour, so I added 3/4 tsp. of baking powder to 1.25 cups of flour and the cake rose beautifully. Even though I am not fond of evaporated milk, I used fat free evaporated milk in the sauce and it worked out well. There was not a single issue with the recipe. For an extra bit of decadence I added a dollop of whip cream to each serving. Delicious!

OMG!!! That's how I would describe this cake!!! Just perfect, except that as per the reviews of few, i cut down the sugar content and the cake turned out sweet enough. Just a little glitch, the cake baked sooner on the outside, but the inside was still very much semi solid. So I cut down to heat to 150c and baked for another 20 min till done. Hot pudding with vanilla ice-cream a perfect combo!!! Yummmmm!!!

Don't let the fact that this recipe is made with Dates stop you.. it is moist, and just amazing. be sure and let the chopped dates sit a while in the water / baking soda to soften them, and you won't even know they are there. They bring the most amazing sweetness with very little sugar! Make this for the holidays. Everyone will think you are a genious. I poured the topping over the moist cake after punching some small holes with a skewer. I am keeping it in the fridge and then just giving it a little warm up in the microwave. Amazing.

We discovered this dessert on a trip to Scotland (we had it four times over nine days!) and I had to try it at home. I followed this recipe exactly and it was fantastic...and surprisingly easy, too. The caramel sauce was a little thin so I'll try the suggestions next time. A huge hit with our guests. This is going into my permanent company rotation. Thank you!
